Pediatric Occupational Therapists\u27 Perception of How Nature-Based Play Affects Fine Motor Development
No full textThis study explored the benefits of nature-based pediatric occupational therapy (OT) and the influence of nature and nature-based play on fine motor development. It was hypothesized that nature and nature-based play would positively impact a child’s fine motor skills (FMS) and that nature-based OT would offer unique benefits to a child’s therapeutic experience. To examine these relationships, a survey was distributed to pediatric occupational therapists (OTs) across the United States. The survey was designed to gather insights into how OT supports fine motor development, how nature-based play/therapy enhances these skills, and the perceived benefits of incorporating nature into therapeutic practices. There was a profound influence of nature-based therapy (NBT) on various aspects of child development. Pediatric OTs noted NBT’s positive effects on a child’s FMS as well as their physical, social, cognitive, and emotional development. It was also found that there is a lack of clarity surrounding NBT within the OT field, which may contribute to misunderstandings about its purpose and application
